Hi Betty:
Portland, I guess being a zone 8 and not
sure about Chehalis and
perhaps S.NH having a 5/6 Zone with my
microclime then the only
hope is a chill hour James Beard "Crawford" that's been made available
for this zone probably doesn't exist..... Cest la
vie.
(Keep my eye open though!)
Many thanks Betty.
Best of growing,
~Gianni

Gianni,
James Beard grew up in the area of Portland,
Oregon, and other reports I
have heard came from as far north as Chehalis,
Washington. I don't know if
there would be an all-over zone rating, as
altitude and distance from water
can create different microclimates in
gardens only a few miles apart--my
friends in a nearby hilly area are
consistently 4 to 6 degrees colder than
me at
nights.
